Are there any? I could find proprietary apps doing it from Google’s PlayStore but I really rather use a FOSS alternative if there are any. I tried searching on F-Droid and I couldn’t find any.

Maybe Termux and vim/nano
Don’t you need to give Termux too many permissions (for obvious reasons and well justified sincd it’s a terminal emulator)? That’s the only thing keeping me away from Termux, I’m not very familiar with it and I don’t feel comfortable going ahead onto an app like that since I’d use it exclusively for this purpose. Thanks for the suggestion though (I didn’t know you could run vim/nano from there, interesting, by the way). For anyone reading this and don’t think this way I do and want to give it a try, here are some Termux official webpages:
Termux has no special rights
Just in case you are not aware of typst, there’s a modern version of latex called typst. It may not yet have all features but if you can live with >90%, I’d switch immediately
Edit: termux can run typst
Termux probably can run latex
Wow, I’ve never heard of it but it looks interestig thanks! For anyone reading this, here’s some links:
Apparently I also found someone made a mobile app editor for Typst, but it’s in another app store called Accrescent (I don’t know if it’s safe? I will do some searches on it to get to know about) The project BeauTyXT official website, GitHub Repository (.apk available on Releases page)
Thanks I didn’t know about the app!
Accrescent is alright. Fdroid with reproducible builds is the best of course
What do these apps do? The name doesn’t sound familiar to me.
TeX is a typesetting language. Instead of visually formatting your text, you enter your manuscript text intertwined with TeX commands in a plain text file. You then run TeX to produce formatted output, such as a PDF file. Thus, in contrast to standard word processors, your document is a separate file that does not pretend to be a representation of the final typeset output, and so can be easily edited and manipulated.
More info on LaTeX
There’s a couple in-browser ones, in case you don’t find an app
Thanks, from LaTeX website, they inform of OverLeaf (not FOSS) more like freemium web app? It works nicely though, Papeeria - also same as OverLeaf in terms of FOSS, and CoCalc which I’m very unfamiliar with and it’s different from the first two but also not FOSS webapp. I wish there were apps because I don’t even know if there are self-hosteable TeX live equivalent so I could use it without relying on an online service
The github page for overleaf seems to indicate the community edition is AGPL.
Thanks, I didn’t catch on that. I appreciate you informing it!
